NW Geek Alliance Meetup & Cosplay Class with Chelsea Meetup date and time: Monday, March 16th. 7pm-9pm
Guardian Games
Class lesson: Duct Tape Body
Plus free raffle at the end of the night for fun prizes!
Materials Required: 2 rolls of Duct Tape, 1 pair of scissors, 1 oversized tshirt, stuffing for body form (newspaper, phone book, stuffing from old pillows...)
This is a cheap way to make a dress form that actually is your correct size and can be used for draping and costume construction. This particular class REQUIRES each individual BRING THEIR OWN SUPPLIES to make the duct tape body form. Supplies to bring: 2 rolls of duct tape, 1 pair of scissors and an oversize t shirt that will be covered in duct tape (the shirt will be the base for the body form). If you do not bring the listed materials, you will be unable to participate in the class, so don't forget your materials!
If you don't want to participate in the class, you can bring and work on your own cosplay designs, or just come to socialize or play one of many Guardian Games board games.
Here is a link to a basic tutorial on the dress form to give you an idea what we will be doing :
